Lines from the poem ‘The Moon’ written and recited by Manuella Mavromichalis as part of the Collectiva Inanna production ‘Taking Back the Booty’, while the performers explore their primal power on stage.
I
follow
the moon
Inanna
The first
before Ishtar
before Aphrodite
before men
built walls
corridors
labyrinths
with no compass
no bearings
brick
mortar
isolation
despair
